2012 Holiday Gift Guide Guide: NOVICA {Review & $40 GC Giveaway}

Featured Sponsor

Admittedly, I am a sucker for something unique, eclectic and beautiful. Recently, I was introduced to NOVICA.com
offering just that. NOVICA.com (in association with National
Geographic) is online site that is in many ways different from many
others that I have come across out there. They bring together a
collection of unique, hard-to-find items at great values.

NOVICA's
amazing unique gift section immediately got my attention. I've always
loved the designs and creations from around the world. This section offers the ability to search from very broad to very specific types of gifts including ~ Handbag Gifts for the Adventurer, Romantic Christmas Gifts for Her, Yoga Gifts for Men... and even have Cooking Gifts for the Animal Lover Man!
From their
beautiful selection of Spring home decor, from their Murano hand blown
vases to natural fiber baskets, there is definitely something for
everyone this holiday season. I was instantly attracted to the stunning jewelry, including a
wide selection of Garnet Dangle Earring to beautiful Silver Pendent Necklaces.

I
completely fell in love with Tiger's eye and carnelian cluster earrings
and the 'Garden Bower' Beaded cocktail ring from Thailand. Included
with each piece is an artisan story card that has a particular quote
from each artist as well as a description of the purchased piece.
Admittedly, the earring and ring were even more lovely in person and I
was completely thrilled with my selection. I can see all the love and
hard-work that went into each detail of these earrings and ring.

Because
each piece is shipped directly from their international fulfillment
center, shipping takes around two to three weeks, but the wait is well
worth it! Overall, the selection at Novica.com
is a little overwhelming, but I certainly enjoyed looking at all the
amazing and beautifully creative pieces, as I am sure you will too. I
will definitely return to NOVICA in the very near future to add to my
new artisan collection!

Finding that unique gift for the special person in your life is a breeze now with Novica's unique gift section... take a look.... you will not be disappointed!
